It’s a well known fact that LEGO is one of the best things ever invented in the whole sphere of existence across every single plane of reality. Get LEGO bricks and build a car, a plane, a hotel, a killer robot, a fish, whatever you like. Incredible.
Then LEGO made the bold leap into the world [...]

I had such plans for the second part of this year; learn a new language, single-handedly construct a vital A-road, eat four whole packets of Jaffa Cakes in under 10 minutes, kill a chav. But no, oh no, all my plans have gone out of the big plan window and have shattered into tiny broken [...]

Before we continue with this, I want to stress that when I say the filthy, dirty side of computers, I do mean proper filth and dirt, like dust and cobwebs and grime and suchlike. If you’re after the other type of dirt and filth I recommend you speak to Mr Trench, he’s the resident expert there. [...]

Almost two years after this video appeared on YouTube, it’s finally appeared on the Randomlinkage interweb highway sensors. Don’t worry, we’ll take a look at them soon and give them a liberal application of WD40.
For all the people who played Portal and enjoyed it (which should be all of you, let’s be honest) then sit [...]

I don’t get the smash hit game The Sims. You create some people and then, well, you just look after them, make them cook goopa carbonara, tell them to go to bed, instruct them to watch telly… it’s sort of like real life, but… on a PC… but… why? Why?
It’s nice to know that Yahtzee, [...]

I was going to write a lengthy review about how great this game is, how well the desolation of a post-nuclear landscape is depicted and how absorbing the storylines are, but… well, those folks at TeamTeabag have beaten me to it once again. Granted, they reviewed the Xbox 360 version, whereas I only have the humble [...]

“To have one cake is better than having no cake at all.” – Penge, 2008.
Everyone loves a tasty bit of cake. If you know someone who doesn’t like cake then I highly recommend cutting off all ties to them and even employing the services of a hitman to kill them off for the good of [...]

These days, I’m not too good at keeping on top of the plethora of new games being released for the many different consoles and handhelds. However, whilst browsing through Eurogamer, my topical eye was caught by something interesting. Apologies if this is old news but it excited me almost to the point of underpants soilage [...]

This is one for all the fans of the Half Life world. Not interested in Half Life? Never played it? Never mind, you won’t have to read this and it’ll save you a few minutes of precious life.
For us Half Life geeks amongst us, you might have heard of the comic ‘Concerned‘. It’s an online [...]

Eurogamer have reported that Doug Lombardi, of game developer Valve fame, has stated there won’t be a new Portal game this year. But before we all start sobbing into our empty tea mugs, there is hope! In the typical Valve style, old Douggy L did say of the potential sequel
‘Okay, that was revolutionary, so its [...]

After a few months of mourning, crying, angry outbursts and general depression, I’ve just about come to terms with the fact that Fable 2 is only being released on the Xbox 360, a console I don’t own. Even if it was released for PC, I doubt my aging machine could even begin to cope with [...]

Hi everyone, and welcome to this Deep Voice for a Game Trailer Special, right here on Randomlinkage.com.
Everyone knows that trailers, for films and now games, have to be voiced by someone with a deep, resonant voice for them to be taken seriously. A trailer with a light-hearted voice over seemingly doesn’t do the trick. However, [...]

For the Portal fans amongst you, Aperture Science would like to wish you a merry Christmas.
Their gift to you at this season of goodwill is twofold. Firstly, they present you with a lovely Christmas scene, featuring a roaring fire, some supply crates, a gnome, cake and the lovely Weighted Companion Cube. Secondly, the Aperture Science [...]

Judging by my previous Portal based mumblings, you might have worked out that I have indeed purchased the now infamous Orange Box and have partaken of the game called Portal.
To start with, here’s the grade I give it: [10/10]. Now that we’ve established that it’s a very, very good game, we could discuss why. In [...]

Deus Ex, released way back in 2000 or perhaps even late 1999, is one of my favourite games of all time. In fact, to blimey heck with it, it is my favourite game of all time. It may not have looked incredible (and in terms of appearance nowadays it hasn’t aged well) but the rest of the [...]
